Dash AC Control mount points
« on: November 02, 2011 - 12:41:55 AM »
Hey all, here's a picture of the back side of the dash for the AC control unit. There are what looks like 2 mount points on the unit that I've circled (roughly) in red. The only other mounts are 2 screws on the bottom of the unit from the back side of the dash frame. Since there are only 2 screws on the bottom of the unit, it's not that stable. What I need to know is what mounts to the points in the picture?

Keep in mind that the picture is upside down and from the backside of the dash. It's currently out of the car at this point.

 I believe you're missing a bracket that goes to the bottom of dash. When I get up today I will look at sons ride and take pics of bracket.

Well I checked and there is a bracket supporting the panel. I was unable to take a picture of the bracket, son took my camera up to school for a project. I will post one when I can.

Anyone else have one of these or a reference photo? This is the last item before I can install the dash.

A screw goes up into the bottom hole, right into a lower dash hole.

3 of mine do not have the bracket that you pictured on the right.
